The cameras likewise \u201cmonitor kitchen and drive-thru events to improve speed of service,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p>Agot AI just secured $10 million in seed funding from heavy hitters including The Kitchen Fund, which is an investor in quick service salad chain darling, Sweetgreen; and Continental Grain, which invested in Panera Bread and KeurigDrPepper, according to CNBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2019, Agot had previously secured $50,000, according to Pitchbook. Now, it says business is booming because of the pandemic, which has driven explosive demand for drive-thru windows.  McDonald\u2019s  says it generated 70 percent of its sales via its drive-thrus last year. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see that across the [quick-service restaurant] industry order accuracy is becoming an increasingly large problem as a result of the shift to drive-thru,\u201d chief executive Evan DeSantola told CNBC. \u201cWhat was once a smaller pain point, when the accuracy rates haven\u2019t gotten much better, is now a much larger pain point.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/fast-food-76-kitchen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"A fast food menu board and and man standing behind the counter.\" class=\"wp-image-19474323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/fast-food-76-kitchen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/fast-food-76-kitchen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/fast-food-76-kitchen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Agot AI has installed overhead cameras in a number of fast food kitchens.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Gado via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that reduces restaurants\u2019 reliance on labor, including food ordering kiosks, has also soared during the pandemic.
